Backyard Relaxation...NICE!

Backyard Relaxation. Especially in Sunny Arizona with warm winters. Ah yes, GIVE THANKS for BACKYARDS and Doing Nothing! Yes, especially at this time of year we run around with lists of things to do be it meals, gifts, decorations, party preparations etc. Sometimes Doing Nothing wins the day and puts peace in your heart. After all, gathering in the backyard with a smile, a story, a meal together are what binds friendships. (Photo: Backyard in Surprise Arizona by Jeff Masich)

Just moved in? What do to first? The landscaping needs something. But what? Shall I head to Home Depot and start buying shrubs and drip irrigation? Maybe I should map out a new retaining wall or put in a pond or a fountain?

What is the very first thing that I should do? What will make it special?

Thanks For Serene Backyards for Relaxation... Where We Can DO NOTHING!

Sit down, sip some iced tea, watch the grass grow and observe. You can learn a lot by doing nothing.

"The excitement of buying a new home, plus a stretch of warm spring weather, often creates a passion for yard work. But don't just do something, stand there! What looks like a spring weed might be a fall-blooming vine; that bare spot in March might reveal tulips in April.

Try this instead: Live with your land for a year. Observe how many hours of sunlight each part of your garden gets. Test the pH of your soil to determine if acid-loving or alkaline-loving plants will be happy in that particular patch of heaven. Observe when your lawn greens up in spring and becomes dormant in late summer.

The money and time you save by watching and waiting will be your own.

You can accomplish a lot by relaxing, observing doing nothing.
